Affirm Falls on Results, Expedia Cuts Outlook, Tesla Leads Mag 7

On this episode of Stock Movers: - Affirm (ARFM) shares plunged as much as 14% on Friday after the financial technology company reported what some analysts said were “mixed” results. Analysts made note of the mostly positive earnings, but flagged expectations were very high heading into the results and the guidance given may be conservative.  - Expedia (EXPE) cut its full-year outlook for gross bookings and revenue after it saw weaker-than-expected domestic and inbound travel demand in the US at the start of the year. Gross bookings and revenue are now expected to grow 2% to 4% in 2025, Chief Financial Officer Scott Schenkel said on an earnings call. The company had projected 4% to 6% growth in February. It also issued first-quarter results and a second-quarter outlook that missed Wall Street estimates. - Tesla (TSLA) shares were higher leading Magnificent Seven stocks today. Investors refrained from making riskier bets on speculation that while talks between Chinese and American officials could represent a diplomatic icebreaker, they would unlikely result in a comprehensive agreement at this stage. Following a rapid $6 trillion surge in the S&P 500 from the brink of a bear market, action has been more muted in recent days. The gauge was little changed Friday amid volume that was 30% below the average of the past month.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Palantir Slides, Hims Rises, Constellation Jumps on Nuclear Deal Plans

On this episode of Stock Movers: - Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares slid by the most in nearly a year after its financial results and projections failed to live up to investors’ lofty expectations. The company described rising demand for artificial intelligence software as a “ravenous whirlwind” and bumped its 2025 revenue forecast on Monday to about $3.9 billion from about $3.75 billion. But even a solid earnings results beat and the raised outlook wasn’t enough to justify the stock’s high valuation and extend its massive year-to-date gain.

(HIMS) reiterated its 2025 revenue forecast after posting better-than-expected sales for the first quarter, raising questions about the future as it shifts from making copycat weight-loss drugs to selling discounted versions of Novo Nordisk A/S’s blockbuster Wegovy. Hims’ business got a boost when branded weight-loss drugs were in short supply and a regulatory loophole allowed it to sell less expensive compounded versions of drugs like semaglutide, a chemical name for Wegovy. Those shortages have since resolved and now the telehealth company is finding a new lane by also selling branded drugs at a discount. - Constellation Energy (CEG) surged after it said it is on the verge of signing long-term deals to provide nuclear energy that could meet unrelenting demand to run data centers and factories.

Power consumption in the US is expected to grow almost 16% over the next five years, driven by data centers running artificial intelligence operations, as well as the electrification of homes and cars and a shift away from fossil fuels in manufacturing. That’s created new life for old nuclear plants, with a deal to reopen Three Mile Island as the most high-profile example.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Weekly Roundup: Apple Tariff Fears, CVS Snubs Lily, Spotify Tumbles

On this episode of Stock Movers:- Apple (APPL) shares fell this week after its quarterly earnings report failed to soothe investor concerns about its biggest challenges, including escalating tariff costs and a slowdown in China. The company’s shares declined 3.7% in New York on Friday after second-quarter results included worse-than-expected sales in China. The iPhone maker also warned that tariffs will increase costs this quarter, a sign that geopolitical tensions are taking a growing toll on the business. Apple expects $900 million in higher costs from tariffs in the current period, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said Thursday during a conference call. Revenue will increase by a percentage in the low- to mid-single digits in the quarter, compared with a 5% average analyst estimate. The company didn’t offer any guidance on the impact of tariffs beyond the current period.- Eli Lilly (LLY) shares took a hit on word that CVS choose to make rival Novo Nordisk's popular weight-loss drug Wegovy more widely available to its customers.
